They have to go in the same repeating group. If you need to set them to existing values in order to update existing items, you can use other form logic.

Enclosed please find a sample template demonstrating how to copy a repeating table values merged into a multi-line textbox with a rule Having filled your Basic view as shown below   upon pressing Advanced button, the Advanced view (filled with a rule) shows:     The rule "Copy repeatable table values to textbox" was ...

I think so. So you're saying I need to have the id field in the same repeating group as the rest of the data? It's not enough that I am going to put the id field is in a seperate repeating group?

I am having a similar issue but it is actually displaying the first and last name of the system account and not the user's account. I really appreciate any advice.

Thanks for your help.  It works!
